Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 179 Pastoral Song: "Bibi Dong..."

"Sister Vesna, I've come for the seventh of the Nine Trials of the Sea God!"

A few days later, Muge arrived at the gate of the Temple of the Sea God and met Vesna, the high priest's secretary, who was waiting outside.

It wasn't until yesterday that Muge's ninth spirit ring was re-formed.

"Um!"

"The High Priest has already given me instructions. Lord Pastor, please come in with me!"

"Lady Sea Witch, you can't go in!"

The high priest's secretary nodded to Mu Ge, and then spoke to the sea witch who had come with Mu Ge.

"Yes, I know. I'll wait for Brother Mu outside!"

The Sea Witch also knew that, unless under special circumstances, entry to the Temple of the Sea God was not permitted, let alone when Mu Ge was preparing to enter for the assessment.

She could only wait outside.

"Lord Muge, please come in with me!"

The high priest's secretary nodded to the sea witch, opened the gates of the sea god's temple, and then extended his hand to Muge in invitation.

"Lolo, wait for me here!"

After speaking to the sea witch, Mu Ge walked towards Seagod Island.

Upon entering, Muge could feel the sacredness and solemnity of the Temple of the Sea God, and it was also very quiet.

hum-

At this moment, the High Priest's secretary released a soul skill, which condensed an array under Mu Ge's feet, and then flew up with Mu Ge, heading towards the high platform above.

Upon arriving at the high platform, Mu Ge saw a graceful figure kneeling there in deep devotion.

With her long, silvery-white hair cascading down to her waist, who else could it be but Poseidon?

Seeing Poseidon kneeling in worship, Mu Ge felt a slight warmth in his heart and quickly turned his gaze away. If he continued to look, Mu Ge was afraid that he would have the urge to angrily confront Poseidon from behind.

Looking in the direction where Poseidon was kneeling, Mu Ge saw the trident of Poseidon, which was radiating golden light.

Just looking at this trident of Poseidon, one can feel the divine power it contains, which makes one feel an urge to worship it.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Ge felt a sense of disorientation, as if his consciousness had entered another space, and a tall and imposing figure appeared before Mu Ge.

"Pastoral Song, you've finally arrived!"

"From this stage onward, you will truly face a test from God. I hope you will pass it in the end!"

Then a majestic voice rang clearly in Muge's ears.

"High Priest, I have brought Lord Pastoral Song!"

After the high priest's secretary came up behind Poseidon, he quietly reported to her.

Poseidon did not respond to his words, but instead bowed three times devoutly to the trident of Poseidon before slowly standing up.

"pastoral?"

After Poseidon turned and gestured for his secretary to leave, he saw Muge staring blankly at the Trident of Poseidon and called out to him with a hint of confusion.

"Yes, High Priest!"

Upon hearing Poseidon's voice, Muge came to his senses, and all the strange phenomena from before disappeared.

But Muge knew that it was the sea god's instruction to him.

"The true trials of the Nine Trials of the Sea God begin from the seventh trial!"

Poseidon looked at Muge and gave him a reminder. Although she didn't know that the Sea God had sent a message to Muge, she knew that the real test would only begin once this trial started.

"That's the divine weapon, the Trident of Poseidon!"

"Before the assessment begins, let me tell you the story of the sea god..."

After telling Muge that the top was the Trident of Poseidon, Poseidon began to tell the story of Poseidon, which was within her duty to tell Muge.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I hope you can wield the Trident of Poseidon!"

After saying that, Poseidon slowly retreated, clearly not intending to say anything more. Whether Muge could pass the test depended entirely on Muge's own ability.

"Poseidon's Trident!"

Ignoring Poseidon's somewhat indifferent attitude, Mu Ge took a deep breath and walked towards the Trident of Poseidon.

Upon reaching the Trident of Poseidon, Mu Ge slowly grasped it with both hands.

hum-

The moment Mu Ge grasped the Trident of Poseidon with both hands, a strange change occurred.

The first thing Mu Ge felt was an intense heat emanating from the Trident of the Sea God, as if it were about to incinerate Mu Ge's hands.

The intense burning sensation almost made Mu Ge release his hands.

The ice and fire immunity that Muge originally possessed became ineffective in the face of this burning sensation.

However, Mu Ge knew that as soon as he let go of her hands, he would have failed.

So no matter how painful it was, Mu Ge gritted her teeth and endured it.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Ge felt his soul arrive in a deep sea.

In the vast depths of the ocean, a colossal, rusty, moss-covered trident of Poseidon stands there, bound by several massive chains.

It's just like the state of the Golden Cudgel before Sun Wukong pulled it out, magnified countless times.

This feeling is very strange.

Mu Ge was still standing right in front of her, holding the golden trident of Poseidon in the Temple of Poseidon, but her soul seemed to have arrived in the deep sea of ​​another dimension. It was as if she was in two places at the same time, and she could feel both.

"rise!"

Despite the burning sensation in his hands, Mu Ge gripped the golden trident tightly, intending to pull it out.

The result was that it remained completely still and could not be pulled out at all.

Before gaining the approval of the Trident of Poseidon, it weighed 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg), and it would be quite difficult to pull it out by force alone.

Even though Mu Ge's physical abilities were much stronger than those of ordinary Title Douluos, he still couldn't pull out the 108,000-jin Trident of the Sea God with sheer strength.

"Get up!"

Meanwhile, in the soul space, Muge began to grab the chains that were wrapped around the giant trident of Poseidon, hoist them onto his shoulder, and pull them outward with all his might.

Just like Mu Ge's true form, even when Mu Ge used all his strength, he couldn't shake the massive Trident of the Sea God.

"High Priest, will Lord Pastor succeed?"

Vesna, Poseidon's secretary, standing behind him, couldn't help but ask Poseidon, who was in front of her, about her difficult situation.

"The Trident of Poseidon weighs a staggering 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg). It's impossible to pull it out by brute force alone!"

"He wants to pull out the Trident of Poseidon, but he must first gain the Trident's approval!"

"But to gain the approval of the Trident of Poseidon, strength and talent alone are not enough; one must also understand what the power of Poseidon represents!"

"That depends on whether he can grasp it!"

Poseidon looked expressionlessly at Muge, who was gritting his teeth and persevering, his veins bulging, and slowly said.

She did not want the pastoral song to succeed.

But for some reason, Poseidon felt that Pastoral Song might succeed.

Because Mu Ge has already shocked her too many times, she would be somewhat surprised if Mu Ge couldn't pull out the Trident of the Sea God.

The same is true.

"The power of the sea god is for protection!"

After discovering that she could not lift the trident of Poseidon by force alone, the soul of Muge let out a cry.

That would be considered cheating. Mu Ge had watched the anime, so he knew what the power of the Sea God represented, and he didn't need to figure it out himself.

Moreover, power represents protection, which he can completely understand.

The law of the jungle prevails. Without power, one is at the mercy of others. Power is used to protect oneself, which is also a form of protection.

Mu Ge's true form was not idle either; the power of the sea god contained within him was continuously poured into the trident of the sea god.

hum-

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which was originally integrated into Mu Ge's head bone, flew out from Mu Ge's forehead and finally embedded itself in a groove on the Trident of the Sea God, as if the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was originally meant to belong there.

hum-

After the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was fully embedded in the Trident of the Sea God, with the infusion of the Sea God's power from Mu Ge, and finally with Mu Ge's understanding of the Sea God's power, the Trident of the Sea God finally trembled slightly.

Then, Muge felt that the Trident of Poseidon had become less heavy and was no longer unshakeable.

"Get up!"

Upon discovering this, Mu Ge frantically channeled the light of the sea god within his body into the trident of the sea god, shouting as he gripped the trident tightly with both hands, straining his entire body to pull it upwards with all his might.

hum-

The moment the pastoral song shook the trident of Poseidon, the entire Poseidon Mountain trembled slightly.

Because the entire Poseidon Mountain, and even the entire Poseidon Island, exists because of the Poseidon Trident, the movement of the Poseidon Trident naturally causes the entire Poseidon Island to tremble.

giggle~

However, the trembling stopped after the Trident of Poseidon was pulled off the ground by the Shepherd.

"Lord Muge has pulled it out!"

In the Temple of Poseidon, Vesna, the secretary who witnessed Muge pull out Poseidon's trident, exclaimed in surprise.

When Poseidon saw that Muge had actually pulled out the Trident of Poseidon, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

As expected, even the seventh trial of the Sea God could not stump Mu Ge.

"Tang Chen, is it true that we'll never see each other again?"

Poseidon felt a pang of sadness, and the thought of the ninth test from the sea god, in which she was to sacrifice herself, made it difficult for her to calm down.

She really doesn't want to die.

However, if Muge were to undergo the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, she would have to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Sea God.

Moreover, since she was sacrificing herself so that Muge could obtain the inheritance of the sea god, Poseidon was somewhat unwilling.

For a moment, Poseidon's heart was filled with incredibly complex emotions.

[Pulling out the Trident of Poseidon completes the seventh test of Poseidon. Reward: 15% Poseidon affinity. Gain the recognition of the divine artifact, the Trident of Poseidon, and the right to use it.]

[Poseidon's overall affinity reaches 85%!]

At this moment, Muge also received a notification that the seventh trial of the Sea God had been completed.

"Phew, finally finished!"

Mu Ge brandished the Trident of Poseidon in his hand and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

After finishing, Mu Ge felt that he was in good condition. Although he had exhausted the light of the sea god and his soul power, he did not feel exhausted.

This is also because Muge knew early on what the power of the sea god represented. After discovering that he could not pull out the trident of the sea god by force alone, he simply followed the correct method to pull it out.

Unlike Tang San in the anime, who only grasped the true meaning of the Sea God's power after exerting all his strength, and then fainted from exhaustion after pulling out the Sea God's Trident.

After brandishing the trident of Poseidon once, Mu Ge put it away.

The Trident of Poseidon was directly absorbed into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and then returned to the Vast Ocean Wisdom Skull of Muge.

The Trident of Poseidon, weighing 108,000 jin, was easily put away by Mu Ge.

It seems that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was originally intended to store the Trident of the Sea God.

"Congratulations! You have pulled out Poseidon's trident and completed Poseidon's seventh trial!"

At this moment, Poseidon came to Muge again and congratulated him with mixed feelings.

Of course, you couldn't tell what Poseidon was feeling from her face; she even congratulated Pastor with a smile.

"Thanks to the high priest for explaining the story of the sea god to me, otherwise I still wouldn't understand what the sea god's power represents!"

Mu Ge smiled modestly.

"That requires you to be able to understand it!"

Upon hearing this, Poseidon felt even more distressed. She didn't want to tell Muge either, but she had no choice; it was her duty.

"By the way, now that you've completed your seventh test, quickly check what your eighth test is!"

Poseidon didn't want to say more, as it would be too upsetting, so she directly asked Muge.

The content of the eighth test of the Sea Goddess was specially customized by the Sea Goddess based on Mu Ge's situation. She could not know it in advance, so she wanted to know what the content of Mu Ge's eighth test was.

She hoped it could be a little more difficult.

"Let me see!"

When Muge heard Poseidon's words, he also wanted to know, so he reached out and touched his forehead.

[The Sea God's Eighth Trial: Gather all the soul bones in your body, each bone must be at least 50,000 years old. Kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The trial must be completed within five years!]

Soon, Muge learned the contents of the eighth test of the Sea God.

To be honest, it's not much different from Tang San's eighth trial in the anime.

The only difference is that Tang San has an additional requirement: to revive Xiao Wu.

The other requirement is that the examinee must collect all the soul bones in their body.

Mu Ge has already absorbed all nine spirit rings, so there is no requirement for Mu Ge to reach the level of a Title Douluo and collect all the spirit rings.

Therefore, compared to Tang San in the anime, Mu Ge's eighth trial of the Sea God was much simpler.

However, precisely because it was much simpler, Mu Ge was unable to replace the low-quality soul rings he had absorbed in the early stages.

Tang San sacrificed many of his spirit rings in order to revive Xiao Wu. However, due to the divine test, he was able to reabsorb spirit rings and thus turned misfortune into blessing.

When Mu Ge first saw this part, he had a "holy crap" feeling.

The previous paragraphs portrayed how difficult it was to revive Xiao Wu and how much sacrifice Tang San had to make.

The results of it?

This is practically giving Tang San a free ride to cheat!

My initial impression of Mu Ge was that the more affectionate and great Tang San appeared at the beginning, the more ridiculous he became later on.

So what enormous sacrifice did Tang San make in order to revive Xiao Wu?

The more emotionally charged the beginning, the more jarring the ending.

Shaking his head, Mu Ge stopped thinking about Tang San's eighth test and immediately told Poseidon about the contents of his own eighth test.

"Slay the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? It seems the Sea God has given you a difficult test!"

After hearing the content of the eighth test of the sea god in the pastoral song, Poseidon smiled slightly at the pastoral song.

The smile seemed to express the Sea God's high regard for Muge, or something else entirely.

In any case, the light in Poseidon's beautiful eyes was much brighter than before.

"What kind of spirit beast is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Is it very strong?"

Even though she already knew, Muge still asked Poseidon a question.

"It's incredibly powerful. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a soul beast that's nearly a million years old, and its strength is equivalent to a peak Douluo. Even I'm not confident I could defeat it!"

Poseidon nodded and gave a brief and clear introduction to the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Millions of years..."

Mu Ge was stunned for a moment, then said with some pressure, "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is so strong, how could I possibly kill it? How could the Sea God give me such an impossible task?"

Seeing Mu Ge's dejected expression, Poseidon almost burst out laughing.

However, her duty was to encourage Muge, not to gloat, so she could only suppress her laughter and say to Muge, "Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is very strong, you are not weak either. Now that you have the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, it is your greatest help in dealing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"

"Besides, there's still plenty of time. I believe you can definitely complete the eighth trial of the Sea God within five years!"

Mu Ge nodded: "I see. Thank you, High Priest. I will definitely do my best to pass the Sea God's test!"

Then Mu Ge asked, "High Priest, my eighth trial requires me to collect all the soul bones in my body. Can I return to the mainland to complete it?"

"Yes, you are now free to leave Seagod Island and return to the mainland during the eighth trial!"

"You just need to complete all the content of the eighth trial of Poseidon within five years, and then return to Poseidon Island!"

The high priest nodded.

"I understand. Thank you for your care over the years, High Priest. I plan to return to the mainland tomorrow and strive to complete the test given to me by the Sea God!"

Mu Ge nodded again, feeling a little excited.

Finally, we can leave Poseidon Island.

Although she has never lacked time with her daughters through the dream world, Muge still longs to truly embrace them.

And Ah Yin and the others, although through Xiao Ai and the others she knew that the daughters' mothers were doing well, Mu Ge also wanted to go and see them again as soon as possible.

It has been more than four years since he left.

"And then there's Bibi Dong. I'm no weaker than Bibi Dong now!"

Then Mu Ge also thought of Bibi Dong, whom he had always been thinking about.

Mu Ge believed that Bibi Dong's strength was definitely inferior to his at this moment!

Since Qian Xunji is still alive, Bibi Dong definitely did not inherit the legacy of the Rakshasa God. With Bibi Dong's talent, it is possible for her to break through to the Title Douluo level.

However, if it's just about breaking through to the Title Douluo level, even if he breaks through to level 95 and becomes a Super Douluo, Mu Ge is confident that Bibi Dong is no match for him.

Therefore, Mu Ge felt that if given the chance, he could go and rekindle his old romance with Bibi Dong!

"Hehe, Bibi Dong, just you wait!"
